At a glance: How to watch WWE NXT online

But figuring out how to watch WWE NXT live online is no easy task – especially with the move to The CW. Below is a quick guide to live streaming NXT online without cable, including some options to stream NXT episodes for free.

How to watch WWE NXT online without cable

Since WWE NXT airs on The CW, you'll need a live TV streaming service to watch new episodes live. If you don't mind watching recorded episodes a day later, you can also watch NXT on Peacock the day after it airs on The CW.

Stream NXT on DirecTV Stream

The CW is included in all DirecTV Stream packages as well as other local networks such as ABC, Fox and NBC. Packages start at $79.99 per month, but you get a five-day free trial to start with, allowing you to watch an episode of NXT for free.

Stream NXT on fubo

fubo also carries The CW (in most locations) and offers a free trial that lets you stream NXT for free. After the seven-day free trial, fubo's cheapest plan starts at $79.99 per month.

Stream NXT on Hulu + Live TV

Another great cable streaming service that allows you to watch WWE NXT online is Hulu + Live TV. This starts with a three-day free trial and costs $76.99 per month thereafter.

Stream NXT on Peacock (next day)

You can also watch WWE NXT on Peacock, but only a day after the episodes air on The CW. If you can stay away from spoilers online, consider subscribing to Peacock here. Plans start at $7.99 per month.

Watch WWE NXT with a digital antenna

Don't want to sign up for another streaming service? You can also watch NXT via a digital TV antenna. These compact, affordable devices receive local channels in most areas, including The CW, ABC, Fox and NBC. The TV streams are free – you just have to buy the hardware. Get this highly-rated option on Amazon for just $32.
